This Report includes forward-looking statements related to theglobe.com, inc.

Item 8.01  Other Events

On October 14, 2011, the Company received a summons in an adversary proceeding dated October 11, 2011 (the “Summons”) from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Florida (the “Court”).  The Summons requires the Company to submit a motion or answer to a complaint that was attached to the Summons (the “Complaint”) to the Court by November 10, 2011.  The Complaint was filed against the Company by the Distribution Trustee of the Distribution Trust created under the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization of SendTec, Inc. (formerly RelationServe Media, Inc.) (“Distribution Trust”) on June 15, 2011.

SendTec, Inc. (“SendTec”) was a direct response marketing services and technology business that was originally purchased by the Company on September 1, 2004.  On October 31, 2005 all of the business and substantially all of the assets of SendTec (including the name “SendTec”) were sold to a subsidiary of RelationServe Media, Inc. (together “RelationServe”)(the “Purchase Transaction”) for a purchase price of $39.9 million.

The Complaint alleges, among other things, that RelationServe was insolvent, or rendered insolvent, as a result of the Purchase Transaction.  The Complaint further alleges that the Purchase Transaction was made with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud creditors of RelationServe and that it received less than equivalent value for the purchase price paid to the Company for the SendTec business and assets. The Complaint alleges that the Purchase Transaction was a fraudulent transfer under Florida Statutes and that it is avoidable under Florida Statutes and federal bankruptcy law.  The Complaint seeks that all monies received by the Company in connection with the Purchase Transaction be recovered for the benefit of the Distribution Trust.

On October 18, 2011, the Company also received a Motion for Enlargement of Time to Perform Service of Process filed on October 13, 2011 pursuant to which the Distribution Trustee sought an enlargement of time upon which to serve the Company and unnamed additional “equity holders” of the Company pursuant to its stated intent to file an amended complaint in include “equity holders” of the Company.

The Company is in the early stages of evaluating the Complaint and developing plans on how to respond to the Court and how to fund legal costs relating to defense of the Complaint.  Currently, the Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations made in the Complaint.  However, we currently have very limited cash resources and the legal costs that may be incurred in the defense and resolution of the matter alone could adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern.
